  • EPR ethylene-propylene elastomer
  • the cables may be subjected to extreme external conditions such as floods or fires that cause in particular changes in the electric field may create partial electrical discharges of the aforementioned type within the insulating layer.
  • the present invention is intended to overcome these major drawbacks by proposing an energy and / or telecommunication cable that can be protected against said partial electric discharges, while having good resistance to extreme external conditions.

  • the material or all of the materials making up said first electrically insulating layer has an electrical permittivity greater than that of the material (s) composing said second electrically insulating layer.
  • the first electrically insulating layer may be non-flammable and incombustible.
  • the first electrically insulating layer comprises one or more materials allowing it to be fire resistant.
  • Fire resistance is defined in this case as the property enabling an element to retain its physical and mechanical properties, and in particular its electrical insulation properties, for a defined period of time when exposed to high heat or directly fire.
  • the two electrically insulating layers make it possible to attenuate the intensity of the electric field.
